With federal mail fraud charges against the mayor and deputy mayor and a grand jury subpoenaing village records, the Board of Trustees plans to hire special counsel to protect the community's rights as the investigation runs its course.

A Village Attorney's Office memo issued Thursday says "employees must preserve all documentation and electronic evidence that might be the subject to the grand jury subpoena. The determination of whether any paper document or electronic evidence is relevant will be made by the village attorney."
